Review Danelectro French Toast
 
 
 

Review by .:~JLD~:. on Jun 14, 2005




I bought it from a local music store about 2 months ago

I swapped it for a Boss MD-2 and a Boss OS-2

I think it was actually about 40 pounds.

 
 
  Features  
 
This guitar effect has to be the worst thing that I have ever heard come from my very nice expensive amplifier. The French Toast model is Octave Distortion, something that I'd hoped of getting the effect of Jimi's 'Purple Haze' solo. Nothing like it though, the sound was over distorted and totally off, the feedback I was getting was somehthing I've never heard before, unreal.

Good points I suppose are that it looks nice, as do all Danelectro products, but what are looks when there's nothing inside, this pedal is like a beautiful girl without a personality.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
Clearly this item cannot reach my desired results, I've already explained this.

Compared to others, I would never bother to be honest.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
I've already explained all of this, way too much noise generated... sound quality is bad... Doesn't perform better than others and the effects are outrageously bad.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
It's a sturdy item, not too high off the floof and adusting the knobs is farely easy, I'm guessing that it's sturdy enough for gigs, although I can't think of anyone who's ever had the courage to use it on a live set so I guess there's no proof.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
This item does not live up to my expectations, it's one of those times when you think

Why did I waste my mnoney on this?

Lucky for me I got rid of 2 pedals I didn't really use so I wasn't that bummed.
I'm definutely considering another one and am thinking of trading it in for store credit.
